What is CEFR?

The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, commonly known as CEFR, is a comprehensive and widely recognis

ed framework that provides a structured approach to understanding and assessing language proficiency. Developed by the Council of Europe, CEFR offers a standardised method to evaluate and compare language skills across different languages and educational systems.




CEFR divides language proficiency into six levels, ranging from A1 (Beginner) to C2 (Proficient). Each level is characterized by a set of descriptors that outline the skills and competencies expected at that stage. The divisions are as follows:

  1. A1 and A2 - Basic User:

  • A1: Breakthrough

  • A2: Waystage

  1. B1 and B2 - Independent User:

  • B1: Threshold

  • B2: Vantage

  1. C1 and C2 - Proficient User:

  • C1: Effective Operational Proficiency

  • C2: Mastery
